Could I Be A Horse Trainer Or Riding Instructor?ive had horses my whole life and show in 4-H but i pretty much always place last because ive never had real lessons or anything like that,my mom taught me and she just does backyard Riding so ive never learned all the little details to win a show but id say im still a good rider just not show material you could say lol. but this year i want to take lessons and work REALLY hard at being a better rider. and because of a family/personal problem i got my GED so im not in school anymore so i will have a lot of time to focus on being a better rider. and once im ready i want to go to lake erie college and take the equestrian Trainer classes. so do you think if i work really hard and take lessons i will be able to be a Trainer even though im not as good as everyone else in 4-H right now? thanks =] sorry for all the typos im really tired lol alright thanks! i hope your right =] [ Read More ]

What To Expect For First-time Horse Riding Lessons?I'm starting Riding lessons shortly after the October long weekend from a well-known friend of mine. He is a professional Horse Trainer and I've arranged some well-priced private lessons with him. My question is, what should I expect for my first time on a horse, and what should I be aware of. Also, which clothes do I need to wear? I know a helmet, boots, and gloves are essentials. Do I absoloutly have to wear breeches? Please no silly or serious answers. 10 points for most thoughough and informativive answer. Oh, and if you actually ride horses, that would be great! Thanks Ellie I'm doing English Style Riding, not western. All you people have great answers so far! Thanks for all the help you've given me! It will be hard to choose the best answer though.

What Can A Horse Trainer Compete In At A Horse Show?Does anyone know of a website that lists the classes that a Horse instructor/trainer can ride in at Horse shows? I know that trainers can only ride in certain classes because they are at a higher level than other riders and it deems it 'unfair' and 'unfit' for a Trainer to compete in a class against riders that are on the same level as their students. I'm trying to find out a definite as to what classes a Trainer is allowed to ride in without causing problems. Thanks! [ Read More ]

Do You Think My Riding Trainer Will Be Angry With Me? Also, Tips On My New Horse?So. I'm 16 and did english pleasure from the time I was four until I was 10, when I began dressage. I started jumping when I was 12, and have been doing dressage and jumping since then (though technically I'm not allowed to jump...but my father is fine with it and says it's all right as long as I don't tell my mother). I used to lease an Anglo-Arab, and then moved barns and now lease an Appendix from my trainer's friend. However, my own friend, who recently moved to my barn, is now having trouble...she can no longer afford her horse, and asked me to ride her Horse for a video to show potential buyers. Well, I rode the horse...and I completely fell in love with her, connected like I've never done with any other horse. She's a handful, definitely, but I adore her, and she's a natural jumper. So I agreed to lease her. Now I've got to break off the lease with my trainer's friend, and try to explain what's happened. Plus, this particular mare is young, just 7 years old, and an off-track TB...she's done english pleasure and hunter jumping, but has no dressage training and is utterly inexperienced with being supple and round. My Trainer and I are going to have to put in a lot of work with her. Basically, what I'm asking is...would my Trainer have a reason to be angry with me? Also, tips on training a green dressage horse? I mean, I've worked up to half-pass before (granted, on a Horse that was already familiar with the movement), but I can't imagine how I'd go about teaching a Horse to get round, as all the horses I've ridden have already been taught that... Anyway. All thoughts are appreciated. Thanks very much! No, my lease agreement is month-to-month, so I won't be breaking my agreement. Plus I'm going to pay for an extra month, just so she has some notice to find a new leaser. [ Read More ]

A Studying Dressage-horse Trainer Looking To Start Western Riding/training?A little background; I've been trained in dressage for nine years but have ridden the past three summers out on a working ranch, herding, training young foals and doing general ranch work. I am in college, studying to be a dressage Horse trainer. This summer I am transferring to another college with a better equine science degree and a dressage program. My current program does not allow me any Riding time until senior year and is not specific enough. I'm starting to get bored with riding, which horrifies me. I understand that there will be bored stunts while Riding but this has been going on for about a year. So while thinking back on my happiest times Riding I realized they've all been while on the ranch, herding horses, cutting cattle, helping young foals and racing along the plains. I know that there are boring parts of everyone's jobs but I'm starting to wonder if western Riding is where I want to be? I greatly enjoy cutting cattle. I've never had formal western lessons but understand and use neck reining and know the tack, etc. So my question is; Is it hard to start a professional western Riding career after only knowing dressage and some hunter/jumping (my least favorite)? I've heard reining is the western world's form of dressage. I want to be happy and enjoy my job and life, be able to support myself, and not regret an in-the-moment decision. Has anyone been in this dilemma before? [ Read More ]

How Do You Tame A Fiery, Evil Spirit In A Stubborn Horse? Riding Crop Or Gentle Rider?My 2000 red dun is as stubborn as can be. My Trainer just smacks him with the Riding crop, but some people say only a gentle hand can tame Rooster's spirit. Rooster tosses his head, paws, and bolts and bucks when he doesn't get something he wants. He's just a spoiled rotten brat. What should I do? [ Read More ]

Should I Tell My Trainer I Want To Be Switched To Another Horse?I felt really bad for this Horse because it didn't seem like anybody wanted to ride her. So I tried her out one day and I have been Riding this Horse for about two months. Then, she bucked me off. She's always been a little headstrong but for the most part, I could control her up until that point. Ever since that day, I have been scared to use leg aids with her when she doesn't do what I say because I guess I'm afraid she'll get a sudden burst of energy and decide she wants to buck again. For a while I thought it was just me. I thought she didn't like me or something. But then, another girl from the barn with a lot more experience than me rode her and got bucked off too. I'm not confident Riding this Horse even if she's being really good. There's another mare that is pretty calm and I really enjoy Riding her. I don't want to give up on the first Horse but I'm just not confident on her. Should I tell my Trainer that I want to be switched to the calmer Horse or should I stick it out? [ Read More ]
